When Graveyards Yawn

Summary: Can't Wait for the Movie!
Review: I was amazed. When Graveyards Yawn takes some familiar ideas from detective and horror stories and ties them into a book that's totally unique, creepy and entertaining. Wildclown is a one of a kind detective, and Greasetown is just like its name. The writing is thought provoking and fun. And to help you get a feel for the novel Taylor also produced a huge, official web site dedicated to the story and its setting and characters. There are pictures and animations of the detective, characters from the book and an ongoing book launch party inside the book. Lots of stuff to keep you entertained for hours. This is one fantastic package. I can't wait for the movie!

Review: Imagine for a moment a world following "The Change" in which the living never age, the dead rise from their graves, procreation is only a memory and the sun never shines. Toss in a first-class mystery and a cynical detective with a propensity for adult beverages by the name of Wildclown and you have a plot mix that makes a witches brew seem passé. Oh, and did I mention that Wildclown, appropriately enough, wears clown garb and
makeup, is often possessed by a disembodied entity and has a partner whose dead? Not many writers could pull so many diverse story-elements into one story and have it hold
together, but G. Wells Taylor has done it superbly. Not only is Graveyards believable, but Taylor's prose is impeccable. Wildclown, with his flawed personality, is a character
you may not like, but you will love his cynically humorous repartee and you'll be rooting for him all the way through this imaginatively clever novel.
